I'm having a hard time thinking today. I started the day having a hard time figuring out what I needed to do, can't focus and everything is irritating me.

Yesterday started with being a little manic ended feeling hyper not knowing what to do with myself. There are indications of an elevated blood pressure which in the past meant possible anxieties and sometimes panic attacks.

I'm not depressed but I have to isolate again today. I would try reading a book but my minds having a hard time comprehending. What a waste it's such a bright sunny day out and it's a Friday.

Better luck tomorrow I suppose.

I understand how you feel. I can't read very well for the same reason. If you have a yard or a balcony maybe go sit out in the sun. Ever since I was diagnosed with vitamin D deficiency I've been going outside to sit in the sun for 30 minutes every day. The quiet alone time in the warmth actually feels good even when I'm depressed.

If you can force yourself to take a 5 min walk outside. I'm just getting up and it's almost 6 pm here. Hopefully tomorrow is better.

Today has been better, so far. I tried sitting in the yard basking in the sun for a while, which was nice. But that didn't last long because even the sound of cars driving by and the occasional barking dog seemed to aggravate my mood. What did help me 'Calm Down' was taking a nap. That was odd because normally once I'm locked in my quiet place I tend to be down for at least a day. Not this time after a few hours of uneventful sleep I was good to go.

Thanks for the replies guys. Hope you're doing better today as well.
